Please read the comic before reading past the OP, there will be spoilers discussed in this thread, but not in the OP.

Welcome to the MS Paint Adventures (hereafter referred to as MSPA) thread!
If you're new here, then welcome!

What is MSPA?

MS Paint Adventures is a collection of four webcomics done by a combination writer/cartoonist Andrew Hussie. All four comics are a great read and are a great way to cure boredom or spend a few weeks of summer.
The four comics are:

[td]Problem Sleuth:

A hardboiled team of three detectives discover an unspeakable evil, and must fend for themselves. But is it real, or just in their imagination?

Hussie uses several styles of art over his four comics. Most of the styles are fan-named, and Hussie himself rarely acknowledges the fact that he changes style.

[td]"Quick"-style
Used for most of Problem Sleuth, and all of Jailbreak and Bard's Quest. Makes a few cameos in Homestuck.[/td]
[td]Sprite mode
Used a lot in the beginning of Homestuck, becomes less used towards the current time.[/td]
[td]"Hero" mode
A slightly more realistic interpretation of our heroes, used a fair amount towards the middle of Homestuck.[/td]
[td]"Hussnasty" mode
The most "realistic" interpretation of the characters. It's so named because it resembles Andrew Hussie's older works, such as: "And It Don't Stop" and "Whistles".[/td]
[td]Scribble mode
A more whimsical and fun approach, usually used for joke or gag panels.[/td]

Homestuck has an entire team of artists dedicated to the comic, mainly to help lighten the load on Andrew during flash production, by contributing images for the animation. The art team consists of many people, but notable ones include:
• Tynic
• Lexxy
• SkepticArcher
• Eyes5
• Sock
• Michael Firman

Waiting for Hussie to release an update? Bored out of your skull? Just looking for something else to read/look at the pretty pictures? You're in luck, because Homestuck's community is nearly infested with variangly interesting, funny, artistic, and sometimes just downright confusing fan-run adventures. Some (Read: One) of these have turned into their own webcomic!

Hey there Dante, what are your thoughts on Homestuck so far as a whole?

First off, I can’t believe I’ve read a few thousands pages so far… Secondly, being that I’m that far in, I can’t believe not always sure what’s going on exactly… hahaha

But I truly find this whole “Homestuck” amazing… It’s something I’ve never seen before. It’s like a book or a comic, only it’s not a book or a comic… it’s something new. It’s like an entirely new way of telling a story. I’m reading this story on the internet, learning what’s going on through pictures of these characters and their “IM” conversations… There is no other time in history that a story like this could be told and in this way, except for now… That’s kind of amazing.

The art work, at first, I didn’t know if I was into it… but it grew on me… and then some pictures just blew me away.

On top of all that, there is a community that you can communicate with about the story in real time, its kind of mind blowing… The fact that I somehow make an appearance in the story is just a bonus.

And the as my computer battery is about to die… its a good time to get some sleep.

if the condesce has vriska and tavros' combined psychic controlling powers now, I wonder if that played a major part in her takeover. it was a bit ambiguous as to whether or not her experiments were successful.
